Romney IS NOT a conservative. So it is close because the 0bumbler has the liberals and Mitt has the Independents. As a conservative the only difference I see is the (D) cronies have a blue tie while the (R) cronies have a red one. Both are trying to be first in line at the tough when the tax dollars get poured in.
My personal efforts were in the primary where I worked to get an (R) senator defeated. He won so now I vote against him come November.
The quickest route to wealth in America is politics. Scumbags get elected then steal money hand over fist. That is the real problem in America. We have gone from a democracy to a Kleptocracy. It is time to forget party politics and hunt for Politicians that have the moral backbone to resist the easy money from ‘K’ street.
If Romney can get conservatives to vote for him, he will win in a cake walk. 0bama has peaked.

You seem to attack Romney because he is “not a conservative,” whatever you mean by that—then proceed to babble on about having worked to defeat a Republican senator (was he, too, “not a conservative?”) in favor of someone else. Then you babble about the corrupting influence of money in politics—something which, at least, Romney, despite being “not a conservative,” would not likely be subject to—and proceed from there to demand that the government be filled with paragons for whom money holds no allure.

It would be interesting to learn where you hope to find these paragons, were you able to construct a single coherent sentence. In the meantime, consider that “conservative” is an adjective, not a noun. There are no “conservatives,” merely people who are conservative in relation to other people’s positions.

It is unclear why you choose to attack Romney. He is not a perfect man, but—even if there were some “perfect man”—he is the alternative to the disaster we currently have in the White House. As the sole viable alternative, he’s as perfect as it gets; either you support him, or you are in favor of continuing the current march to disaster.

Though Romney has been a flip-flopper before, he’ll govern as a conservative because he knows he has to watch his right flank. Huckabee and Santorum have a vital role to play from the bench in a Romney Administration: Do not let Romney stray under pain of a primary challenge. It was effective in Congress, and it’ll be effective in the White House. By maintaining the constant threat of a primary challenge, we force our politicians to speak and act like conservatives.
